Pilot? Student pilot? Future pilot? Interested in learning to fly? If you're reading this forum, you've got flying in your blood! SportPilotTalk is a great place to ask questions about this exciting new segment of (more) affordable aviation!

I'm a new pilot, in training, probably two months out from check ride & oral. I'm training with CFI Terry Miller at KTCY. I've been fascinated with flight my whole life, never thought I'd be able to fly for medical reasons, then I stumbled upon the Sport Pilot rules, had my 1st lesson 3 days later. [/img]

Welcome to the forums, Counselor, and good luck with your flight training. I wasn't aware that Tracy had any LSAs available. What aircraft are you flying?

Yes, we spend a lot of time out at New J when TCY is busy. It's got a rough surface but it's nice & wide & not much traffic. Had two hot air balloons in the pattern couple weeks ago. And why anyone would want to put a warehouse out there in the middle of nowhere is beyond me.

Always great to see a new pilot. You can't do better than Terry for an instructor. The Sacramento Valley has developed into a thriving Light Sport community. I fly a CTSW out of the Davis area and I have a friend a few hangers over that flies a Sting. Stick with it, start working on your knowledge test, and get that certificate. And say hi to Terry for me.
